MediaWiki does allow more than one redirect to work correctly. This is disabled on Wikimedia wikis and by default. I have seen a few wikis which change this, to reduce needless maintenance. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgMaxRedirects Also note that hard redirects (special pages and interwiki redirects) also work correctly on some wikis. We have made this to be an exception, as this is disabled on Wikimedia wikis and by default. I dont recall ever seeing this setting changed. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgDisableHardRedirects I doubt either are exposed via the API. However both *might* be easy to feature detect by giving a sample redirect wikitext to `action=parse` to determine what the server does with the output.
